Frankie constructed AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ using a compass and a straightedge. He then placed point C so that it was not on the segment he just constructed, as shown in the image. What is the next step Frankie must take to construct a copy of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ using point C as one of the endpoints?

To construct a copy of the segment \( \overline{AB} \) using point \( C \) as one of the endpoints, Frankie should use a compass to measure the distance between points \( A \) and \( B \). This distance will allow him to replicate the same length starting from point \( C \). Therefore, the correct response is:

Use a compass, measure the distance between points A and B.
